Ever since returning from repairs, my Kaiser is giving me more problems than before.
First, I apparently lost the ability to hard reset my phone using the 2 softkeys & soft reset button method.
For more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384581
First thing I did when I got my phone back, was flashing the latest ROM from Dutty (Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19209 Release). After performing numerous installations and soft resets, my device went crazy after yet another installation and soft reset.
Just before my Kaiser takes me to the Today screen after (re)booting, the phonepad pops up and seems to be 'pushing numbers out of itself'. Confused by the explanation? Just take a quick look at the short vid I made.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGkot2-mbbI
(Fast forward to 01:00 to see it going crazy. Long after the vid ends this continues)
Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Or has my incompetence reached new heights and is that to blame for my problems?
Thanks in advance
P.S.: In the meantime I have hard resetted my device, but I'm still curious...
call at&t and get a replacement. Easiest thing to do.
Try load the factory default ROM.
FAx
The kaiser has been known to act haunted, thats why it comes in black.
Fix: When applying this fix avoid looking at the screen to avoid the image inside the device that you want to exorcise. Unplug fully and remove battery to prevent an escape through the wires; also ensure that you disconnect any usb devices to avoid an escape to your computer.
Once you have isolated the device. Find the packaging and insert carefully, ensuring that it is packed safely to avoid any breakage resulting in an escape to your home. Then ship to the place you purchased it from and ask them to send you back one that is not possessed.
Good luck.

Is that a hint for a career change...... the loss of one's tilt is quite a dramatic event.
@alexn2
I already called in help from the Vatican, but it will take some days before the first batch of exorcists arrives (haunted was a sarcastic expression). Any explanation in the meantime?
@gqstatus0685
This device is a replacement which I got back last week. But it seems to me that I will need to send it back again. Another week without my Kaiser...

WTF?
I just don't get it...
I now have my 3rd Kaiser, since I had issues with the first two. One of the problems my second phone had was the 'haunted' problem as described above.
My Kaiser has been working like a charm for several weeks. I first used the stock ROM, then switched to Dutty's ROMs. I used 3 ROMs: Apr16, Apr29 and Jun07 release.
I installed the Jun07 release today. After installing and configuring the same software I had before upgrading the ROM, guess what?
HAUNTED AGAIN... WTF?
I loaded the ROM, did multiple hard-resets, soft-resetted after customization, loaded CABs, configured them, rebooted several times and when I had finally configured every app => TOTAL Clusterf*ck... (again)
Sometimes it does boot normally BUT when I press the 'Send'-button and the dialer opens => Kaiser goes LOCO again...
Anyone got any idea as to why this happens?
NOTE: I have the latest SPL + Radio NEON 1.58.25.17 (included in the ROM)
I did some additional testing. I had SPB Pocket Plus installed an had the Safe Boot option enabled. So I did some testing in safe mode.
The phone boots 'normally' to safe mode. No apps or services are loaded, and I can open the dialer and even enter numbers to dial. But when I try to delete a number using the backspace in the dialer => again haunted
I just discovered the problem. I always try to install most of my apps to my Storage Card.
Some of those apps is the Microsoft RDP (remote desktop) client.
Installing it to the Storage Card caused the phone to go crazy. It has to be installed to the Main Memory.
NOTE: After discovering the problem, I did find other posts across the forum reporting problems if the app isn't installed to the main memory. Since I found the cab on someone's 4Shared account, I wasn't aware of the installation requirements.
Thanks anyway for the support given
As posted before, I very recently flashed Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588 ROM (Jun07).
Today I tried playing WMV files with Windows Media Player for some performance testing. I loaded my first file and whenever I tried something, like fast-forward, switch to fullscreen mode,... my phone crashed and soft-resetted itself.
Guess what I got when the phone booted => The crazy dialer (haunted edition)... It kept doing this after every soft-reset until I removed the MicroSD card. The video I was trying to play was located on the Storage Card, so there might be a relation.
While I have done additional testing under the same circumstances, I haven't been able to simulate the problem.
I'm still clueless, so as always are ideas welcome...

I know this is my first post here but I've done my best to search the forums and I haven't found anything that looks like it helps me.
I just got my AT&T Tilt yesterday. It came unlocked (I'm using it with T-Mobile) and has an HTC ROM installed as well as various other apps (Ms. Pacman, TomTom 6, SuperDoku, etc.). I had some issues with it locking up yesterday (similar to what I'm experiencing now but to a much, much lesser degree) when I was playing around with it but those issues somehow corrected themselves.
This morning I installed the Tilt keyboard fix that TaurusBullba posted on here back in June to fix some mapping issues. Since I installed and soft reseted, everything has been going kinda haywire. The Wi-Fi turned itself off and I can't turn it back on. When I slide out the keyboard the orientation stays in portrait mode. When I try to shut down the phone using the power button it hangs forever. Now, actually, half the time I press the power button nothing happens at all.
I've tried uninstalling the CAB but that didn't fix anything at all. I'm afraid to try a hard reset because, from my understanding, I'm going to lose everything that came pre-installed on my phone for me. I should probably also add that last night I installed the Google Maps CAB with no problems whatsoever. Is there some simple solution I'm overlooking? Thanks much!
I would advise that if you have tried soft resets to try and resolve the issues and it hasn't worked, then perhaps a hard reset?
It sounds as if the software you have installed as either caused the problems or exacberated them (ie made them worse).
With hard reset it wipes everything back to when you got it. If you are able I would suggest that you plug it into the computer and make sure ActiveSync backups up your contents. You may also want to use this get all the files on the main memory either to the storage card or to you're PC.
As this is yo're first post I don't know how au fait you are with the above that I have mentioned
The preloaded apps will be reloaded again. You won't have an empty ROM if you do a hard reset. It will be as if you just flashed the ROM again.
Thanks for the replies guys. I went ahead and did a hard reset and it looks like the only thing I lost (or at least the only thing I miss) was TomTom. I've already reinstalled that using a link I found on here, and everything seems to be good to go.
I still have no idea what might have caused the problems though, so I'm afraid that they might come back or I might repeat some dumb mistake I made. I guess I'll just have to live with that for now.
clear storage / hard resets no big deal, just expect to do it every other week while you're finding all the cabs that work (or dont work) for you..
I generally clear storaged every week when i first got my tilt until I found all the app's I liked that didn't have side effects
Today I got my Kaiser back from repairs. I got my mainboard replaced because of connection issues. It came back with it's original 'software'.
After installing Hard-Spl (white screen edit) I successfully flashed "Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19209 Release" to my Kaiser.
I wanted to Hard Reset my device using the soft-buttons and soft-reset method, but it seems to be broken (?). I managed it in the past (before flashing and repairs) but for some reason it doesn't work anymore. Soft-resets and Bootloader mode still work.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks in advance
P.S.: In the meantime I hard-resetted my device by going to Settings => System => Clear Storage

Few Tricks, Make sure you are not plugged in USB. Make sure you are not "fat fingering it." Some people use chopsticks to be sure. And Hold it for long after the Screen goes Black.
Believe me, I've already tried the things you said.
Although I successfully mananged in the past to hard reset my phone, I checked the threads and the following vid:
How To Hard Reset Kaiser:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZPzT_L2FZQ
Usually I am the problem, but this time I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Just wondering:
Which part of the Phone (ROM) is in control of the Hard Reset part? (e.g.: Bootloader, Radio Rom, Regular Rom,...)
Use "Clear Storage". It does the same thing.
Also, JM is most likely correct. It is most likely an issue of how you are pushing the buttons. Make sure you hold only ythe soft keys first, using your fingernails, then push the reset tab on the bottom & hold it. Don't just push the reset & release, but keep it held down.
Based on your previous message about your phone being haunted - mine is too btw, I think it's because the soft buttons aren't being acknowledged by the OS - which implies some REAL big problems.
I took mine back to the T-Mobile store today where I got told that it needs to be sent back to their workshops to fix it... and then got told that "mostly they just send out a new phone".
My phone is exhibiting the following symptoms.
1) Green and Red phone buttons do not work.
2) Soft buttons do not work.
3) D-Pad and wheel work intermittently.
4) (and most strange) the back-space key on the slide out keyboard does nothing, and on the virtual keyboard it flashes (to suggest that the key is being pressed) but still does nothing.
I've tried to access the bootloader, and perform a hard reset. I'm now looking for the original T-Mobile ROM to install (which was why I went into the shop), as the issue around the backspace key implies to me that the issue is in the OS not in the hardware.
Jon
Thanks already for all the input.
I've been trying all weekend in every different possible way to perform a hard reset. Fat fingering is really no possibility anymore. I've used every possible tool I had (needle-nose pliers, chopsticks, pens,...) to eliminate fat fingering.
But nothing helped. Jon (a nice guy) might have given a possibly correct diagnosis for my problem. But it wouldn't explain why I still can get into the bootloader.
Problems since receiving my phone from repairs:
Backlight changed out of itself => performed Hard Reset
Phone pad pops up and seems to start dialing => flashed new ROM
Wakes up constantly after a few seconds from standby => performed Hard Throw against the wall
As you can see, my latest problem is that the phone automatically wakes up from standby after a few seconds. The weird thing: it only does this when I put it in standby, but it doesn't wake up if it enters standby by itself.
=> NOTE: This may support the 'fat finger'-theory: the Kaiser gets some sort of keyboard input due to faulty hardware. Therefore I cannot Hard Reset my device, because of the additional faulty input.
I've used the "Clear Storage" method to perform one of my hard resets, but this has to be solved. I will be sending the phone back for yet another repair.
Thanks again for your input everyone.
Problem found?
I think I found the problem:
I just noticed that the camera button is already pushed in halfway (like when you focus the camera before you take a picture). If I push the button gently, it immediately takes a picture without focussing (it does automatically focus before taking the shot, but not on my command).
Also, when I enter the camera app, it sometimes instantly focuses. Other times I cannot focus at all.
Hard reset is still no go.
Yet another thanks for your useful help.
Maybe found the solution?
Hi Guys...
I found that by tapping the base of the phone, it "unlocks" itself, thereby making it work. It's become *S*L*O*W* as hell, and I'm really tempted to ask them to take a look at it, but right now I need all the functions, so I'm holding off.
But, give that a try and see what happens!
Jon
Thanks for still answering my question. Go community!

Last week I finally received a fully functional and working Kaiser (have been waiting for that since december...). I couldn't accept a disfunctional Kaiser coming back from repairs.
The problem did indeed seem to be the camare button that was stuck. I tried really hard to get it to unblock, but I didn't work. I must say, I didn't try your method (didn't think of it).
Still thanks a lot.
I am experiencing exact same issues on my Kaiser (Tilt), it randomly starts to type stuff in the phone application on its own and I can't do anything to stop it, I have replaced ROMs, SPLs, Radios, now using a shipped rom with shipped radio but still that problem comes up after a few days of usage and doesn't go away until I hard reset, anyone knows what I can do to fix it? it's probably out of warranty. I checked the camera button and it seems fine.
I have to reboot my Tilt daily b/c it becomes uber slow. It takes FOREVER to respond to anything. Some things don't even respond. I have taken off everything that wasn't stock. Even reset the phone back to factory settings. I'm on WM6.1 the ONLY program I have running is Active Sync and I have to have that running for work.
I emailed HTC and they said to upgrade to 6.1 to which I told them I already was and they never responded. Is there an app to reboot my phone every day at a certain time? I'm about to throw this thing in the trash.
This is my 2nd one doing the exact same thing.
Oh wait... Can I volunteer my trash can?? I have never had that problem. But then I don't run stock ROMs.
So, if I upgrade my ROM it could potentially fix the isuue? Got a recommendation on a ROM to run? I'm not to up on that stuff.
First step: Flashing your First Rom (For Noobs) "read read & read again"
With regards to ROM choice it's a personal choice and you will find the ROM you like.
Take a read of the ROM threads.

Sweet, thanks!
I never had this issue, and i'm running the HTC stock ROM.
Well, I finally said screw it and decided to quit being a wuss and install a ROM. I wanted to try the HyperDragon IV, but the download link wouldn't work. So, I did this one http://sakajati.com/blogs/2008/11/hyperdragon-iii-raphael/
Been up and running for about an hour. Just getting my exchange email accounts finished and populating. So far so good. We'll see how long between reboots I can go.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
you should reboot daily anyhow
I have had my TyTN II with stock rom for over a year now and I have never had to reboot without it being my fault, ie. installing something that doesn't agree with my device. Mine runs happily along all the time.
I have SK Tools installed and with it comes FreeupRam, which I run periodically to....well....free up ram...hehehehe.
Often some plugins do not agree with our devices, causing havoc, resets etc. This was my problem at one time. Now I am running Spb Mobile Shell and it is sweet, snappy and I have it customised just the way I like it. I found that phoneAlarm and HTC Home Customiser were the biggest culprits. Since I removed them and started using Spb Mobile Shell, I do not have those problems.
I also recommend that you purchase a programme called SafeMode. You set the time in seconds to boot into safe mode. It displays when the splash screen appears. This has saved me lots of frustration and unnecessary resets.
Here is the URL where you can buy it and it is well worth the US$12.95!!!

i never had this problem, i may restart my kaiser after 10 days or more, i am using Athenos WM6.1 ROM
Nope... My last flashing/hard reset was about 4 months ago, I have ~40 programs installed and don't usually reboot more than once every 1-2 weeks, unless it's because I've installed/uninstalled/changed something that requires me to.
Using original stock 6 ROM, no need to reboot. But i noticed that from time to time Kaiser just turns off, wtf?
Is that because of the ROM i'm using, anyone with similar experience?
phone goes off, no questions asked. I tried to shake sim card holder, suspecting it has something to do with it. Sometimes i have to remove battery for a while, then hold reset with stylus, then to turn it off. Can it be fixed maybe, or will flashing help?
Thanks

Could your power button be sticky, or jammed?
Well, I didn't notice, it just sits on the desk, and goes off, then sometimes i just press power and it turns on, sometimes reset button needs to be pushed and/or battery removed, then just power button and it goes on again. I was suspecting most on sim holder, but testing it with fingers couldn't produce similar error. I'm really considering moving to athenes rom, but must figure out backup system in case i want to go back to stock with current settings and programs.
hey guys, not sure whats going on, but my tilt lately keeps freezing, but it only freezes when i go into landscape mode. i've ran the same programs for a long time (palringo, google maps, live search, kaiser tweak and srs wow) i'm not even running skyfire anymore, and i've uninstalled my opera browser but it keeps freeze. i've done some reflashes and hardware resets, and only ran the above programs, and it still ends up freezing when i put it into landscape. Anyone know what could be causing this? it doesn't matter if im typing landscape in notes, palringo, PIE or anything else, always freezes. The ironic thing is that if i bust out my stylus and type w/ that using the soft keyboard it seems to run just fine (but slows me down A LOT). any help would be much appreciated.
Do you mean your hardware keyboard lags?
If so in software is a speedup keyboard .cab.

no its not a keyboard lag by any means, the phone literally freezes. i dont even have to type when its in lanscape mode for it to freeze, as soon as the screen changes orientation it freezes immediately

Thanks for clarification, just that you say soon as use onscreen keyboard no issue, are you using a stock ROM? Does it happen on a clean flash no programs installed?

sorry, i should have given a lot more info, but i had to jet to class. Anyways, its not the stock rom, i'm running NATF's Lite rom (no TF3D). I actually downloaded originally around september/nov/dec of 08 (dont remember, but its been months that i've been running it). And never had a problem with it...now all of a sudden it seriously craps out everytime i run it. I tried running Hyperdragons IV Lite and i was experiencing some of the same problems. I'm really starting to think its one of the problems i'm running, so i'm going to to a hard reset (again) and see if it runs just palringo, and google maps w/out any problems. its just getting super frustrating to be honest. i'm running the exact same programs that i've ran for the last year, but now its deciding to act up. hopefully its something in the software and not hardware
ok...so i got home, and installed the OEM att tilt rom. really, no matter what program i install, pretty much anything. the freezing occurs. any out there familiar w/ cell phone hardware? i'm thinking that might be the cause, if so...do you think there's anything that can be done/replaced to fix it?
Hi, this started happening to my just today also! At first I thought it was the onscreen keyboard that made my phone freeze (as I have seen others with the same issue) and thought I could fix it by using another keyboard app. I used SPB's keyboard and it prevents my phone from freezing and I'm able to type things using it. BUT my phone STILL freezes when I put it in landscape mode and try to type something. It freezes after typing a couple of letters. This is stock ROM; I've never flashed it.
Is there a .dll I can use to repair or anything of the sort?
Btw, I'm using a Tilt. Thanks!
anyone have any method ..to prevent this problem???
I find that if restart the phone few times will freeze at gray screen .."the original HTC gray blank screen with loading box in the middle" but the antenna reception green light is normal blinking (all the button not functioning).... -solution have to press reset button below ...
so now everytime install new program very scare to restart .. if un lucky ..will stuck at that screen.... really wonder why ...is it the WM6.1 not stable???
I use motorola linux ..no such problem...

Try the relevant ROM thread also look at your hardSPL version. Some users have fewer freezing probs just by updating hardSPL.

Not at all, there's definitely something wrong with your setup if it wont even boot fully. Maybe a hard reset and some testing between installing each individual program will weed out the culprit. That said I've found (at least the HTC official) WM 6.0 ROMs to be much more reliable and stable than WM 6.1 ROMs.

Not as such - hardSPL is made by dedicated folks who have customised the OEM version but installing it will mean you no longer have an 'official' setup. That said, you can always revert to the official HTC SPL if needed for eg a warranty return. You could also install a newer HTC SPL for your ROM (as long as it's compatible *be careful about this* - eg I'm using the 1.93 HTC SPL with my ROM instead of the 1.56 SPL). This is all explained in the Kaiser wiki (through the xda-wiki button above) so it's well worth having a good read there
aaaahh I looked around. and I can't find a driver to reinstall for the hardware keyboard... I'm assuming this would fix it~
Sorry to double post but I just wanted to say I fixed the problem by backing up and restoring with SKTools after doing a hard reset. It makes me think, what exactly caused the problem in the first place if doing this fixes it? Is there anything that SKTools leaves behind in an All System backup? Perhaps something messed with my registry causing the keyboard to freeze the phone when used.
I'd hate to think my phone can actually get spyware now. Maybe Skyfire's true desktop viewing of webpages allows for this to happen?
Let me know what you guys think
" used Spb's keyboard and it prevents my phone from freezing and I'm able to type things using it. BUT my phone STILL freezes when I put it in landscape mode and try to type something. It freezes after typing a couple of letters. This is stock ROM; I've never flashed it."
If I will you to avoid ...uninstall this soft keyboard ... use back the original keyboard at the time being and see... if u restore back what is the diff compare to now ... If I not wrong still the same ...
FYI, I got this freezing problem is after I have install PCM kb 0.14 ...then I try install & uninstall & install ..and need to restart the phone ..2 out of 4 time is freeze at loading screen .. now really worry is it b'cos I uninstall it at the same time have remove certain original files .....
WM is diff with windows ...lack of tool to chk which system files damage .... I really hate hard reset ..just like computer... imagine keep format the hard disk ....

If only restoring a full size PC was as easy and quick as hard restting. Sure there's a little work involved in reinstalling apps after completing the hard reset but if the apps are well designed ones that install via activesync, that's as easy as going to Activesyncs add and remove programs function and ticking a box. If this is not available then maybe the old app is the cause of the problem?
A hard reset every now and again is very useful for maintaining peak performance and it certainly weeds out whether a problem is hardware or software related pretty quickly.
My stock T-Mobile Vario 3 has been performing fine for two years, until yesterday when for some reason Bluetooth would not enable when I clicked on the icon (otherwise the phone seemed fine) so I did a basic Windows shutdown/reboot as I have plenty of times in the past.
The boot initially got stuck on the first white T-Mobile boot screen with the ROM/etc revision numbers on, and would not go any further. I removed and re-inserted the battery and tried again several times, and after a couple of tries it managed to get as far as the first green Windows load screen before sticking again.
I think it must have hard-reset itself at some point during these attempts though, as now it will sometimes go as far as the default "tap screen to calibrate display" message, which I can tap and then see the central cross-hair. If I tap on this quickly enough it sometimes moves the cross-hair up to the top-left, but then it locks and won't do anything else unless I disconnect the battery again. That's the best I've been able to get it to do so far.
Help! Any ideas?

I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to get my old system back so I forced a hard reset myself (two soft-buttons & reset hole) and it has now reloaded to factory default, but as least it's working which I rather doubted it would be.
Photos, music etc were all on the memory card, and contacts/calendar info were daily synced to my PC, so there only some old SMSs lost which isn't too bad.
Oh well, I guess I can now look around for a more modern ROM for it (now that there's nothing on there to backup/reinstall). Anyone got any particular favourites? (as there do seem to be a lot around!)

Since there are a lot roms out there, the only one who knows what is looking for is you..yes...you...Andre because, what's favorite for me probably will not be "favorite" for you, that's why there are so many options out there. Try a couple of them (6.1 or 6.5) it does not take a long time to flash them (< 10 minutes). After that, you will come up with your favorite as many users in these forums. You will definitely will enjoy the flashing and testing the different roms!. That's what I feel LoL
